Interviews & Reviews
“A lot of writers now are grappling with how to write fiction in such a rapidly changing world.”

“Choosing to revisit former unrealized versions of oneself again and again for the sake of telling a more complete story can only be classified as brave.”

Reader Support Keeps The Rumpus Going! |
|
Founded in 2009 in San Francisco, CA with readers and editors all over the US and abroad, The Rumpusis one of the longest-running independent online literary and culture magazines. Our mostly volunteer-run magazine strives to be a platform for risk-taking voices and writing that might not find a home elsewhere. We lift up new voices alongside those of more established writers readers already know and love. Often, we are an emerging writer's first notable publication, which is something we’re really proud of. We believe that literature builds community—and if reading The Rumpus makes you feel more connected, please show your support! Our Membership and subscription programs help keep us going and brings us closer to sustainability.
